gangsta-rap asked: I know this is a weird question and I hope you can help me. My last name is Conatser which is German but my ancestors when they came over to U.S. changed the spelling and I have tried to research what the original spelling of my last name could be but cannot find it. If you have an idea or know a place I could find this information I would be very grateful thank you.
